SAR glossary codes and additional reporting routes—flowchart This Flowchart illustrates the most commonly used National Crime Agency (NCA) glossary codes to use when completing a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) via the SAR Portal, and the additional reporting routes you should consider. The full list of SAR Glossary Codes can be found in SAR Glossary Codes and Reporting Routes. Note 1 SARs regime The SARs regime is not intended as a means of reporting crime or matters relating to immediate risks to others.

We have flagged where this may be appropriate. If possible, you should make these additional reports...

Does section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 apply to Hire Purchase Agreements?

Does section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 apply to Hire Purchase Agreements? In certain debtor-creditor-supplier (or DCS) relationships, a consumer who has a claim against a supplier may have a 'like claim' as against the creditor under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA 1974). In order for a claim to be successful under CCA 1974, s 75 six conditions must be satisfied (see Commentary: Prerequisites of Liability under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, ss 75 and 75A: Goode: Consumer Credit Law and Practice [33.144]). With respect to one of the conditions, see Commentary: Agreement is debtor-creditor-supplier agreement within s 12(b) or (c): Goode: Consumer Credit Law and Practice [33.147] which states: ‘[...] the section has no application to, say, a hire-purchase agreement between the debtor and a finance house, for though the goods may have been physically supplied by the dealer who introduced the credit transaction, the legal supplier is the finance house, and the

Is there any legal requirement to offer separate privacy notices, terms and conditions, terms of access (and similar documents) to users of a website? Which other documents might be needed?

Is there any legal requirement to offer separate privacy notices, terms and conditions, terms of access (and similar documents) to users of a website? Which other documents might be needed? Legal requirements for documentation There is no law that prescribes that each or any of these documents must be made available per se. Generally speaking, they are a way of imposing contractual rights and obligations or addressing legal requirements to provide information. The documents that are made available, and their contents, will vary greatly depending on the situation. It will make a difference whether, for example: • the website (assuming there is one) is merely ‘informational’ or has more complex features and functionality such as the ability for users to interact, generate content or sell their own goods or services • the website owner supplies goods or services itself • any such goods or services are being provided in exchange for payment or funded by advertising • personal data is being processed and whether cookies are...
